Indeed, I was also about to say something along those lines. The thread has been drifting off in a direction where votes for fascism are being justified because the left is saying mean things. Voting out of spite is not rational behavior, it's the very essence of acting on emotions without giving it any thought.

Additionally, why are people acting as if it would only be the left that is looking down on people who don't agree with them when the USA has entire TV channels that are dedicated to be echo chambers for people who want to look down on the left.

Why is it that when someone on the left does or says something ridiculous (eg. "This pants ad is Nazi propaganda"), it seems like the general reaction is "The left is awful and I'm not going to vote for them", but when someone on the right does or says something ridiculous (eg. "We need to turn America into a white ethnostate"), the general reaction is "Oh you can just ignore that guy"?

The same people who are offended by "mean things" said by "the left," don't seem to be disturbed by Donald Trump threatening the sovereignty of countries like Canada, Denmark, or Panama. Or the vile things that are said in casual conversation about California, New York, Illinois, and other blue states on a daily basis.
